Random information on the term “Scamp”:

National Semiconductor’s INS8060, or SC/MP (pronounced scamp) for Simple Cost-effective Micro Processor, is an early 8-bit microprocessor which became available in April 1976. A unique feature of the SC/MP is a daisy-chained control pin that allowed up to three SC/MP’s share a single main memory to produce a multiprocessor system.

To lower cost, the system used a bit-serial arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and was thus significantly slower than contemporary designs like the Intel 8080 or MOS 6502 which had parallel ALUs. Another oddity was that the program counter could only access the lower 12-bits of the 16-bit address, and the upper 4-bits had to be set using special instructions. The result was that instructions accessed main memory as sixteen 4 kB “pages” and reaching memory outside those pages required multiple instructions.[a]

The combination of slow speed and paged memory limited its attractiveness, especially in the markets that might need a multiprocessing system. It saw very little use in the market.

Random information on the term “RASCAL”:

Rascal: A Memoir of a Better Era, often referred to as Rascal, is a 1963 children’s book by Sterling North about his childhood in Wisconsin, illustrated by John Schoenherr.

Rascal was published in 1963 by Dutton Children’s Books. The book is a remembrance of a year in the author’s childhood during which he raised a baby raccoon named “Rascal.”

Subtitled “a memoir of a better era”, North’s book is about being young and having a pet raccoon. Rascal chronicles young Sterling’s loving yet distant relationship with his father, dreamer David Willard North, and the aching loss represented by the death of his mother, Elizabeth Nelson North. (The book also touches on young Sterling’s concerns for his older brother Herschel, off fighting in World War I in Europe.) The boy reconnects with society through the unlikely intervention of his pet raccoon, a “ringtailed wonder” charmer. The book begins with the capture of the baby raccoon and follows his growth to a yearling.

The story is also a personal chronicle of the era of change between the (nearly) untouched forest wilderness and agriculture; between the days of the pioneers and the rise of towns; and between horse-drawn transportation and automobiles, among other transitions. The author recounts through the eyes of himself as a boy his observations during expeditions in and around his home town, contrasted with his father’s reminiscences of the time “when Wisconsin was still half wilderness when panthers sometimes looked in through the windows, and the whippoorwills called all night long”, provide a glimpse of the past, as the original subtitle suggests.
